Tang Xi saw that there was no response and was about to leave. A drop of water on the forehead. Tang Xi stretched out his hand to wipe the water droplets on his forehead, looked up at the sky, and saw that in the moonlight, the black tentacles were revealed again.

Tang Xi was startled at first, and his body couldn't help but take a small step back. Then Tang Xi calmed down, his body slowly retreated backwards, and his tentacles were not in a hurry, following closely. Tang Xi, who retreated, always paid attention to the position covered with peach blossoms under his feet.

Tang Xi suppressed the fear in his heart and withdrew from the position he had set up, and the tentacles did stop in the peach blossom array. Tang Xi took a deep breath, held the kitchen knife in his right hand, and slashed at the tentacle.

"Bang". The kitchen knife in Tang Xi's hand seemed to have slashed into a hard stone, and the moment the blade touched the black tentacle, a spark also appeared. Under Tang Xi's blow, the tentacles did not retreat, but raised their long tentacles, swaying up and down, as if they were laughing at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi held the kitchen knife high, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and slashed a few times, but the tentacles not only did not take half a step back, but there were no scars. It's just that the kitchen knife in Tang Xi's hand is full of gaps. Tang Xi had already put his fear behind him, and his face was angry.

Tang Xi didn't know that in Mingjing Lake, there was an old man, sitting cross-legged, looking at Tang Xi's actions on the shore of the lake, and laughing.

Seeing that the kitchen knife was ineffective, Tang Xi poured all the remaining lamp oil behind him on the tentacles, took out the burning fire fold, and threw it on the tentacles stained with lamp oil.

With a "boom", the tentacles stained with lamp oil burned when they saw the fire, and there was a burst of pain. The hanging forehead tentacle fell in the peach blossom array. The peach blossoms and dead branches stained with lamp oil burned rapidly, enveloping the tentacles in flames. The tentacles flapped, shaking the peach blossoms and dead branches of the fire array. Burning branches and peach blossoms flutter in all directions, accompanied by the night breeze, towards the surrounding peach groves.

The black tentacles roared in the flames, burrowing into the water with rage. Burning petals fluttered all over the sky, bringing the entire peach blossom forest into a sea of fire. Tang Xi came back to his senses from the roar of his tentacles, looked at the burning peach tree, and didn't know what to do for a while.

The sound of the peach blossom forest alarmed the villagers of Taoyuan Village. The villagers who woke up saw that the peach blossom forest was caught in the sea of fire, and quickly beat gongs and drums and came together.

Tang Xi, who was in the peach blossom forest, was roasted by the monstrous firelight, and his face was red. Tang Xi looked for a way out, but the sea of fire blocked the way out. Desperate, Tang Xi's eyes could only look at Mingjing Lake.

Tang Xi knew that only the water of Mingjing Lake in front of him could save him, but when he thought of the black tentacles at the bottom of the lake, Tang Xi couldn't help but retreat.

Tang Xi looked behind him, the dead wood peach tree was swallowed by the sea of fire, and under the blowing of the night wind, it made a "woo" sound, like the cry of the peach tree, and like the excited laughter of the sea of fire.

Tang Xi looked at the villagers in the distance, came together, and showed a little hope. Tang Xi was in the flames, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and the clothes on his body were indeed very dry, and Tang Xi even felt like he was about to be roasted.

At that moment, a burning smell came from underground. Tang Xi found that his shoes had been wrapped in flames. Tang Xi looked at the villagers who rushed in despair, and shouted for help while jumping in the sea of fire. Tang Xi's cries for help, drowned in the sea of fire, did not attract the attention of the villagers on the mountain.

In less than three breaths, green smoke came out of Tang Xi's robe, and sparks were entangled. In despair, Tang Xi's mind went blank, rushed into Mingjing Lake, and jumped into the lake.

Tang Xi, who jumped into Mingjing Lake, heard the sound of "snorting" in his ears. Tang Xi instantly felt that his body was much refreshed, and the heat disappeared, but it added a coolness. Tang Xi showed his forehead from the water, and he could see green smoke billowing from his body.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xi's body, as if pulled by something, sank into the depths of the lake. Tang Xi's first reaction was that tentacle. Tang Xi, who was flooded, struggled hard, but it was useless. After half a cup of tea, Tang Xi was in a drowsy state and was taken to the bottom of the lake by tentacles.

At the moment when Tang Xi lost consciousness, Tang Xi finally saw what was in front of him clearly. It turned out that the black thing was not a tentacle at all, but a long tongue in the monster's mouth. Tang Xi was wrapped in a long tongue and was swept into his mouth. Tang Xi could still see the yellowing fangs in the monster's mouth.

Tang Xi also saw that the fifth uncle's serious and kind eyes were looking at him. Tang Xi also saw a white ice dragon flying towards him, and there was a girl sitting on the white dragon.

"Little sister. Tang Xi muttered. His eyes were slightly closed, and he fell asleep.

In the sky above the peach blossom forest, under the illumination of the sea of fire, the darkness was replaced by fiery red. Villagers with brooms in their hands flapping the burning flames. Some people even wanted to rush into Spiegel Lake to draw water to fight the fire. But the fear in their hearts made them have to give up.

The whole village, regardless of men, women and children, except for Tangxi, all gathered in the peach blossom forest. The fire was raging, burning everywhere in the peach blossom forest, and the faces of the villagers were covered with smoke and dust. Even the peach blossoms buried deep in the ground were burning in the sea of fire.

"Old village chief, what's the matter with this falling to the ground?" Zhao San asked, slapping the burning fire.

The old village chief beat the gong and drum, but did not answer, and his face showed pity. Taoyuan Village is isolated from the world, has lived here for generations, the villagers are simple, and they regard the water monster in Mingjing Lake as a sacred object, and the peach blossom forest as a god's dwelling place. In order to keep the villagers from disturbing the fetish, they also made up strange stories.

It's just that I didn't expect Tang Xi's curiosity to lead to this fire tonight.

At this moment, there was a loud bang in the Spiegel Lake. A long black object, about ten zhang, rushed out of the lake and flew into the sky. A splash of water spat out of his mouth, drowning in a raging fire.

The water was like a waterfall in the Tianhe River, drowning the sea of fire in an instant, and the villagers knelt down to bow down. The long black object fell into the mirror lake again and disappeared without a trace.

After the water flowed, there were no more peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest, and some were just a few dead wood branches that had not yet burned out. The old village chief ordered a few people to find the dark fire, put it out, and return to the village.

The next day, the sun rises. Everyone came to the peach blossom forest again, wanting to find the source of fire. In the end, he only found a kitchen knife with countless chips and a porcelain altar with broken lamp oil next to Mingjing Lake.

Han Ningzhu ran to Tang Xi's residence, thinking that Tang Xi hadn't gotten up yet. Han Ningzhu, as usual, pushed open the door, and Tang Xi was indeed nowhere to be seen. Only on the wooden table, two copper plates and a letter were seen.

"Ning Zhu, what's wrong with you, where is Tang Xi?" Han's mother, who was looking for a kitchen knife, also came to Tang Xi's residence. Seeing Han Ningzhu holding the letter, his eyes were red and crying, and he walked over and asked.

"Mother, that coward went to fight the water monster. Han Ningzhu handed the letter to Han's mother and cried.

Han's mother took the letter and wrote: "Auntie, little sister." Tang Xi decided to go to kill the demon, so he specially borrowed a kitchen knife and half a pot of lamp oil. Tang Xi knew that he was in trouble, and the young lady was unhappy, but in fact, Tang Xi also blamed himself. The fifth uncle often said that if he gets into trouble, he will bear it, and now I will bear it. I would like to thank my aunt and young lady for taking care of me these days. ”

"These are the only two copper plates on my body, maybe not enough money for kitchen knives and lamp oil, if Tang Xi can come back alive, Tang Xi will definitely pay back double in the future, Tang Xi pen." ”

"Hey, this kid, how do you tell me to explain to Grandpa Tong!" Tears fell from the corners of Han's mother's eyes and sighed.
